| Hi, I am new to this forum and wonder what you would say if you were me....
A gentleman from Reading in Berkshire, standing on a side street in Tain at 5pm on a wet bank holiday Sunday, asked you "what is the main thing to see in Tain" and "Is it worth going any further north?

| The Star Inn used to be worth seeking out, and served an excellent pint of Guiness. I think there's a bookshop, but probably not open on Sunday.
Definitely worth going further north - some would say it gets better the further you go.
You've probably realised what I meant when I said that people didn't use the forum very much. Perhaps we should start something on Scottish independence or nuclear power stations.

| sadly the bookshop is no more, it is now a sweet shop and sells soft ice cream and old fashioned sweets from jars. They will also make a sweetie tree to order.... Definitely not open on a sunday though. 
I agree that there are so many things wirth going further North for but just felt that sadly this gent would not be likely to agree.. |

| I haven't been to Tain for a while now, but there's a good (private) art gallery (Browns) and there used to be an interesting glass blowers', not sure if that's still there. And I'm pretty sure Browns is closed on a Sunday, wet or not. |
